This past weekend, we celebrated Diwali 🪔 and 9 months since I took the leap to begin my entrepreneurial journey and build Feta alongside Vansh. Naturally, I found myself reflecting on all that has happened since March:
🌟 Vansh and I collaborated with the creative genius behind Huzzah Studio, Sarah Jutras, to help bring our Feta vision to life
🥳 Launched the Feta mobile app to a group of phenomenal beta testers
🚀 Launched my substack
💫 Supported Jaime-Alexis Fowler and her incredible team at Empower Work as a board member
🌿 Committed myself to end-of-life doula training
💖 Currently co-facilitating my second GCC magic mind along with the one and only Lis Best
🌏 Carved out time to spend 5 weeks with family in India and Canada, camping in Yosemite, and quality time with friends in the Bay Area.
Frankly, I’m awed at how satisfying and full these past few months have been. I am proud that I have defined ambition on my own terms and leaned into being deeply ambitious for how I show up for my whole, beautiful, complex life– as a mom, partner, daughter, sister, friend, founder, and community member.
#RedefiningAmbition is one the core values of Girls Club Collective and it’s one (of many) reasons why I’ve found such a welcoming home in this community. I could not have asked for a more supportive group of leaders who cheer each other on with generosity and trust as I embarked on this wild founder journey.
And, it’s also a big reason why we’re doing things differently at Feta. Vansh and I have #bootstrapped our way to launching a #mobileapp, growing our #beta community, and creating #impact – all while #challengingthestatusquo. I don't believe in growth for growth’s sake, getting to an exit while burning the planet down, and founders not taking salaries (mortgages and school fees are real!). I am committed to building a world-class tech product, growing a company sustainably, and living a full life.

1moIt was a wonderful event to be a part of. It was great talking with the attendee's about their projects while manning the hardware distribution table.
